You may pay your portion of the cost on a pre-tax basis through the Tax Advantage Premium Plan (TAPP).
Dental Benefits You may choose between two dental plans: a traditional indemnity (fee-for-service) plan allowing you to see almost any dental provider, or a "dental HMO" plan offering a network of dentists from which to choose.

RETIREMENT PLANS
The CSU provides you with a number of retirement benefits, including retirement income, medical and dental coverage, and several voluntary retirement savings plans.
BASIC RETIREMENT PLANS
CALPERS Retirement Plan As a full-time employee (or part-time employee working at least half-time), you are automatically enrolled in the CalPERS Retirement Plan. To be eligible, if you are full-time, you must be appointed for at least six months; if you are part-time, you must be appointed for at least one year. If you are a temporary faculty member, you must be appointed for half-time or more and work two consecutive semesters or three consecutive quarters to qualify for the CalPERS Retirement Plan. Membership begins with the start of the next consecutive semester or quarter if appointed half-time or more. Each month, you con-tribute six percent of your monthly pay; contributions are not subject to federal or state taxes. After five years of qualified service, you are fully vested in the Plan, and you are eligible for retirement as early as age 50. When you retire, you receive benefits based on your years of service, age, and final compensation at retirement.
PST Retirement Program If you are not eligible for CalPERS retirement, you are required to participate in the Part-time, Seasonal and Temporary Retirement Program (PST Program) administered by the Department of Personnel Administration in lieu of Social Security. Employees enrolled in this Program contribute 7.5% of gross wages on a pre-tax basis to a retirement account that is available upon separation of employment.
Retiree Medical And Dental You will be eligible for CalPERS retiree medical benefits and CSU retiree dental benefits if:
- You retire at age 50 or later with at least five years of qualified service,
- You were eligible for medical and dental benefits while an active employee, and
